Title: Porous pvc or polyurethane sheet by dissolving out
IPC: C08J9/26
Filed: 1966-10-14
Abstract: Porous plastic materials are produced by (a) dispersing a solid, dissolvable filler in a thermoplastic polymer which is in a liquid or plastic state, (b) removing any solvent present by evaporation, (c) heating the product so that the polymer mixture is in plastic state, (d) forming the heated mixture into a sheet, and (e) removing the filler from the sheet by washing, without damaging the polymer material. The ratio of filler to polymer is such that a continuous sheet can be formed; and the structure of the sheet is such that the filler can be removed to give a porous plastic material. The polymer may be dissolved in a liquid which is a nonsolvent for the filler, to give a product which can be coated onto a removable paper base, which is removed after evaporation of the solvent.

Title: Large scale prodn of nutritive inoculant - for mushrooms
Inventor: ERNO TOTH
IPC: A01G1/04
Filed: 1970-10-15
Abstract: The constituents of the nutritive base, through which the mushroom mycelium spreads, is heated at the sterilising temp., with continuous stirring, to soften and homogenise the mixture, in a closed vessel. The mixt. may be moistened by direct injection of steam or with the aid of exterior heating. The sterilised, homogenised nutritive base is then transferred to a cooling vessel, cooled to a temp. which will support the mushroom mycelium, and mixed with the inoculant. The inoculated nutritive base is then placed in a container of synthetic or other material suitable for the spread of teh mycelium through the base, and maintained at the correct conditions for mushroom culture. The mushrooms produced by this process are suitable for use as human food or animal feeds.

Title: An optical system for determining particle size distribution
Inventor: TRAINER MICHAEL N
IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: An optical system 10 comprises a light guide 22, such as an optical fibre, for conveying light from a source 14 to a light guide face 25 that is immersed in a dispersant medium. A first portion of the light exits the face 25 to irradiate particles contained in the medium and a second portion of the light is reflected by the face 25. A frequency transducer 40 oscillates the first light guide face 25 at one or more specified frequencies, causing the particles 32 within the medium to oscillate. Light scattered by the particles 32 is captured by the light guide 22 and mixed with the reflected light energy, producing a Doppler beat signal for the applied frequency. A second light guide 20 conveys the beat signal to a light detector 18. A mixer circuit generates a plurality of harmonics for the specified frequency signal and frequency components for the beat signal, producing a total power value signal for each harmonic frequency which is used to calculate a corresponding particle motion amplitude signal. The particle motion amplitude signal is used to determine the percentage of total particles following the oscillations of the medium at the applied frequency, giving an indication of the percentage of particles within a size limit.

Title: Atomically and persistently swapping resource groups in a backup system
Inventor: UCEDA-SOSA ROSARIO A
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: Write requests are performed against one or more resources of a resource group in a persistent and atomic manner.

Patent GB-2387454-A (GB)
Title: Processing Seismic Data
Inventor: ROMMEL BJORN EINO
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2002-04-10
Abstract: A method of evaluating a seismic survey to be carried out at a particular survey location comprises choosing an initial seismic surveying arrangement. One or more parameters of AVO (amplitude versus offset) uncertainty are then determined from the seismic surveying arrangement using a model of the earth's interior at the survey location. If the parameter(s) of AVO uncertainty are not acceptable the seismic surveying arrangement is changed, and the AVO uncertainty parameter(s) re-determined for the new acquisition geometry. The determination of the AVO uncertainty parameter(s) may make use of prior information such as the noise covariance and/or model covariance. This enables the AVO uncertainty parameters to be estimated independent of any seismic data.
